Introduction1:23
Clay Dattani leads this course on evaluating lumbar spine, pelvis, hip, knee, and ankle, and applying manual therapy, muscle energy techniques, and open kinematic chain and closed pneumatic chain exercises.
Introduction - Theory9:30
Lumbar spine and Hip joint examination9:42
Pelvis examination6:15
Myofascial techniques and muscle energy techniques Lumbar region and Hip joint7:51
Hip joint Open kinematic chain exercises8:05
Learn open kinematic chain hip exercises in supine and lateral positions to activate iliopsoas, rectus femoris, gluteus medius and minimus, tensor fasciae latae, and hip adductors via bridging and resistance.
Close kinematic chain exercises for the Hip joint7:33
Perform closed kinematic chain hip exercises—squat, sumo squat, deadlift, and bridging—to activate the hip, glutes, and core while teaching knee alignment and pelvis retroversion.
Close kinematic chain exercises for the Lumbar spine2:16
Perform bear position close kinematic chain exercises to stabilize the lumbar spine and activate the abdominal wall, benefiting hip, knee, and ankle with breathing cycles and progression to leg extensions.
Knee joint examination8:04
Myofascial techniques and muscle energy techniques Knee joint9:25
Open kinematic chain exercises Knee joint5:57
Demonstrates open kinetic chain knee exercises, including quadriceps activation with dorsiflexion, hip involvement, and progressive movements like bicycle, bridging, and hamstring strengthening with resistance and proprioception work.
Close kinematic chain exercises for the Knee joint5:55
Ankle Examination5:44
Myofascial techniques and muscle energy techniques Ankle joint and foot7:39
Open kinematic chain exercises Ankle joint3:05
Perform open kinetic chain ankle exercises, beginning with dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, and eversion against theraband resistance, then circumduction and active mobilization, followed by closed kinetic chain and proprioceptive work.
Close kinematic chain exercises and Procprioceptive exercise for the Ankle5:12

Description

In this course you will learn exactly how to examine a patient with Low back pain, Hip, Knee and Ankle joint pain, how to evaluate the static posture and the dynamic posture. You will learn practically the basic principles of the evaluation and treatment with Muscle energy techniques, myofascial techniques and exercises for the lumbar region and the lower extremity.

During the course you will learn:

· How to examine the static posture of a patient with Lumbar problems

· How to examine a patient with hip, knee and ankle joint problems.

· What dynamic tests can you apply to a patient with low back pain, hip, knee and ankle pain.

· How to practically apply the myofascial techniques for the relaxation of the muscles around the lumbar region, hip region, knee and ankle region.

How to apply open and close kinematic chain exercises for the lumbar spine and the lower extremities.

After the course you will be able to examine and treat a patient with low back pain and low extremity pain step by step. The course is illustrated with the real patient so you can understand the principles and apply it easily in practice. Its super easy to understand it because I have explained it in detail, and step by step all the process. I have prepared many videos for the lectures, and you can also download the materials in pdf for the theoretical part.
